Answer 1

Answer:

The Swadeshi movement was a self-sufficiency movement that was part of the Indian independence movement and contributed to the development of Indian nationalism. After the British Government's decision for the partition of Bengal was made public in December 1903, there was a lot of growing discontentment among the Indians. Because barbarian, uncivilized, greedy queen Victoria servant (viceroy's and governor general's) want to exploit INDIANS without much trouble, so they just try to divide hindu and muslim unity in bengal which was at peak. And they suscided in their objective and with this they also manage to separate both fraction of congress and weakened it by dividing . In response the Swadeshi movement was formally started from Town Hall Calcutta on 7 August 1905 to curb foreign goods by relying on domestic production. Mahatma Gandhi described it as the soul of swaraj (self-rule). The movement took its vast size and shape after rich Indians donated money and land dedicated to Khadi and Gramodyog societies which started cloth production in every household. It also included other village industries so as to make village self sufficient and self reliant. The Indian National Congress used this movement as arsenal for its freedom struggle and ultimately on 15 August 1947, a hand spun Khadi 'tricolor ashok chakra' Indian flag was unfurled at 'Princess Park' near India Gate, New Delhi by Pandit Nehru.
